Hope you are enjoying your new Mac mini □įrom what I understand, you are trying to import your backup-ed photos from a MyPassport drive – is that correct ?Īs I am not really familiar with the operation of MyPassport external drives, I am not completely sure on the answer to your question. then wait for the ‘new’ (additional old) photos to sync from iCloud and you will have an integrated Photos Library of old and new Photos and iPhoto’s databases.then, in Photos.app, goto Preferences, then General-tab and at Library Location click the ‘Use as System Photo Library’-button, to make make your main Photos Library the one that syncs with iCloud again and be the one that opens when you startup Photos.app.then choose the iPhoto Library that used to be your main Photos Library previously (usually the one that is in your current user’s Pictures folder).when the uploading is complete, you can quit Photos.app.now, in iCloud, these photos will be merged with the ones that were already in iCloud and they will be sent out to your iCloud (or rather iCloud Photos) connected devices.then Photo.app will start uploading the old photos to iCloud.then, in Photos.app, goto Preferences, then General-tab and at Library Location click the ‘Use as System Photo Library’-button, to (temporarily) make the old iPhoto/Photos Library the one that syncs with iCloud.when done, Photos.app will display your old iPhoto photos.now, Photos.app will start converting the iPhoto Library to an up-to-date Photos Library.then choose the iPhoto Library that’s on your external HD/SSD or USB-stick.now, while starting up Photos.app will ask you which Photos/ iPhoto Library to open.now, double-click the Photos.app while holding down the -key on your keyboard.then make sure that there is a check mark at “iCloud Photos”.then, in the list on the right at “Photos” click on the Options button.make sure you are Signed In into iCloud.then go to Apple-menu (Apple-icon top-left in the Finder) –> System Preferences –> iCloud.when done, exit the iPhoto Library Upgrader Tool.then select the iPhoto Library that is now on your external HD/SSD or USB-stick.in the window that opens, click on the Choose Library button. ![]()
